A Brick Chicken House

“I’m so depressed,” said Bob Bakic, owner of New Berlin’s Moorland Auto Repair, Inc. Tuesday afternoon, speaking of the Packers’ NFC Championship loss to the New York Giants this past weekend.

No worries Bob, you’re not alone. I’m pretty certain the entire state of Wisconsin had an awful case of the Mondays following Sunday’s game.

I was driving down Moorland Road this afternoon, contemplating what I was going to have for lunch, when the sign posted below caught my eye. If it made me smile, it will make viewers smile, I thought. I knew the business had to have put up the words last week, but I still wanted to stop in and chat with the owner.

Oh fine, I’ll be the first one to admit: I’m a Packer fan. By stopping in, I was 80 percent doing my job, and 20 percent in search of some Packer Therapy of my own.

“That guy was playing like a brick chicken house,” Bakic said, speaking of New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress, whose 11-catch, 154-yard game against Green Bay catapulted the Giants into the Super Bowl.

Like everyone else — Favre included — Bakic never expected the game to end as it did.

“Brett Favre’s still my guy,” Bakic said, shaking his head. “He doesn’t walk on water.”

So what’s next for Bakic’s sign? He’s still thinking, he said, but one thing's for certain: It will make drivers turn their cheeseheads and smile.
